Eden Woods has spent his entire life searching for something. He spends his days working at a cafe in France, taking photos to pass the time, then going out on weekends, losing himself in the nights. Only, despite all the soul searching, he can never quite shake the feeling that he's missing something. Then, after a drunken, almost definitely accidental tattoo, Eden meets Avery. The one who did it. He's a tempest. Blustering and bold. Fiery and flirtatious. Avery Romano is a mystery in a bottle, and all Eden wants is to figure him out. Slowly, Eden starts to think that maybe Avery is exactly what he's been searching for. When Avery begins to frequent Eden's cafe, the two begin to forge a bond, and slowly but surely, their paths begin to grow together like intertwining vines climbing up the same wall. For a while, life goes on. Then obviously, things get complicated.

Nolan Reyes has the perfect image: varsity captain, social media star, always smiling. But underneath the jerseys and highlight reels, his anxiety claws at everything - especially his own reflection. Wyatt Ford doesn't care about high school fame. He's got books to read, muscles to build, and grief tucked away where no one can reach it. That is, until he stumbles across Nolan mid-panic, and everything changes. One touch. One breath. One chance at being seen. From hidden panic attacks to quiet late nights in someone else's sweatshirt, Nolan and Wyatt begin to rewrite what it means to be safe - and what it takes to finally come home to yourself.
